Which drink is for me?
Both Drink Mixes contain two different carbohydrate concentrations; Drink Mix 320 contains 80g of carbohydrates (mixed with 500ml of water) while Drink Mix 160 contains 40g of carbohydrates (mixed with 500ml of water).
Atlas 320 can be used as a preload and can be consumed during training and racing. This product could be beneficial when fluid requirements are low, as in cooler temperatures.
Atlas 160 can be used as a preload too, and for shorter training and races. This would be our recommended option in hot and humid conditions when you’d need more fluid.
There is no general hydration strategy since the sweat rates vary between individuals, seasons, and climates. These factors must be considered when choosing the right Atlas product.
Do I need to add electrolytes?
Both 320 and 160 already contain 1g sodium chloride and 300mg of potassium chloride, which is the standard amount provided in electrolyte packets.
Can I prepare Drink Mix the day before a race/training?
We recommend consuming the drink within 24h after mixing with water. As for any drink containing sugar (and no preservatives), the drinks will stay fresh for longer if kept cool (refrigerated). Store in cooler temperatures for longer storage (48-72h). Do not heat the Atlas products to more than 60°C.
Can I mix 2 sachets with 500ml water?
If you mix the Drink Mixes in more water than recommended, you will dilute the gelling components and make the mix progressively weaker. This means that the structure won’t be as strong as intended and could potentially make you more prone to gastrointestinal issues.
Mixing more than one Drink Mix with 500ml does not have the same effect. Creating a higher concentrated Atlas drink will result in a sweeter and thicker drink - we strongly advise you to practice the tolerance of a drink before implementing it in a race strategy.
Which type of water should I use?
We recommend you to not mix it with water with high levels of minerals (>40mg/L calcium). High calcium concentrations make the drink mix hard to dissolve.
Mix Atlas Endurance Drink Mix 320 with exactly 500ml/17 oz of water.
Do not add in more water and remember that most water bottles these days are 21 oz, so if you mix 21 oz of water with 1 packet you will not be happy.
